UniRef
University for Refugees
OUR MISSION
The main objective of UniRef is to provide free access to higher education and professional vocational training to refugees in regions harmed by armed conflicts where the humanitarian help is essential, being a priority their social and professional integration.
All academic programs are completely free of charge for the students. As the burden of tuition fees is removed, the access to the labour market reduces the population’s vulnerability and poverty.
Between 2014 and 2017, UniRef deployed its first mission in Burundi in partnership with the United Nations High Commissionner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Since 2018, UniRef has implemented, in partnership with the Jordan Red Crescent (JRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), its current mission in Jordan in favour of Syrian refugees.
Our Academic Innovative Approach
Our programs were created alongside our university partners. They tackle the most important sectors of the host country where we establish our mission… learn more about our innovation process
Our Projects
Two different missions, two different countries and a common goal: providing access to higher education to avoid a “sacrificed generation”… learn more about our projects
YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Since 2013, UniRef has been devoted to bringing tertiary education in refugee camps.
We would like to implement new projects wherever our humanitarian support is needed.
This is why we demand your help to keep developing our contribution to a peaceful and sustainable world.
